Quarry Open to Climbing?  (North_America: United_States: Georgia)

Anybody know anything about the Vulcan's Bellwood Quarry outside Atlanta? Apparently the City of Atlanta purchased the land over a year ago with long term plans to incorporate it into the Beltline project as park. It was rumored that rock climbing might be one of the permissible activities.

Anyone know if that's still the case? Anyone ever make a trip out there to check out the quarry firsthand?

The Beltline is still a ways away, which makes me think that access is way off. Also, I think that they were going to fill it to make a a big lake. The good news is that the Boulevard Station of the Beltline(east of the Quarry) has a completion date of 2010. Then the whole park system will start to change.
